Q6) What have you learnt about the technologies from the process of constructing this product?

In order to create our final film product, we had to use a lot of hardware and software. We used software such as: 

  • Garage band
  • Final cut pro
  • Motion 
  • Blogger
  • Prezi 
  • Twitter
  • Powerpoint 
  • Word
  • Handbreak

Also we used hardware such as:

  • Camera
  • Videodrive 
  • Tripod
  • Fig rig
  • Macbook 

Garage band 

We used garage band for our title sequence to make a song playing behind our voice over. We used different instruments and combined them together in order to create a mysterious tone. 

Final Cut Pro

We used final cut pro to edit our final title sequence. We used it to cut scenes and put match cuts together. Final cut pro played an important role in making our title sequence. 

Motion

For our title sequence, we used motion to add the writing of our actors and production team names. We then imported them to final cut pro. Without motion we wouldn't be able to have titles within our sequence.

Blogger

Blogger was important for our title sequence as it was were we uploaded our plans and research while also updating it on our editing and filming lessons.

Timetoast  

We used Timetoast for our planning of the title sequence so we knew the order of actor names and production team. As we came closer to our deadline, the order of titles changed. 

Twitter

We used twitter in our title sequence in order to keep the college updated on our filming and editing sessions and also helped our advertising 

Word

We used word to experiment for the style of writing we wanted to use in our title sequence as Microsoft offers a lot of different fonts.

Handbrake

We used handbrake to compress our film size and put it in the correct format. 

Camera

The camera was used to film all of the footage within the title sequence which made it narrative. 

Video Drive 

 

We used our video drive to save all our work so that it was all in one place and wouldn't get lost. It helped to have this as we knew where all of our work was. 

Tripod

The tripod was used to get straight and steady shots of a particular shot. It also helped keep the camera safe.  

Fig Rig

The fig rig was used so that we could get steady shots while moving. We used it a lot while making the title sequence. 

Mac / Mac Book 

We used a mixture of macs and mac books so that everyone in the group could work on something at once in order to get the blogs and title sequence finished within the deadline.
